The Devil wasn't real. Only men were.Step into an elaborate gothic world of steam-powered machinery, where industrialism takes hold of a Victorian-era city, throwing a vast divide between the rich and the poor. Here, you'll meet Jackson Hadley, a man of varied peculiarities, returning home by request of the Queen. His derision of conformity and privilege takes a back seat when the bodies of strumpets are posed throughout the city, encompassing fear and violence in the hearts and minds of Bel Deaux's citizens. With the help of his brothers, Owen and Elijah, they slowly unravel dark secrets that were meant to be kept hidden from the light. Jade Calvert has secrets of her own, secrets that could be punishable by death if one uncovered her gift, but this isn't what concerns her. The arranged marriage to an inherently cruel man will undoubtedly be of abject misery, and she desires nothing more than freedom. Yet everything changes in a brief encounter with Jackson, and Jade is torn between running free and a newfound emotion she thought would never surface. They are joined by a procession of rag-tag characters fighting their own battles and choosing sides in the ultimate battle of good vs evil.
